Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Colorado National Monument
2005. Geospatial data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Colorado National Monument
The files linked to this reference are the geospatial data created as part of the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit. Current format is ArcGIS file geodatabase but older formats may exist as shapefiles. Fifty-one map classes were developed to describe the COLM vegetation mapping project area. Of these, 26 are NVC-based vegetation map classes, four are geology map classes, seven are vegetated land use map classes and 14 are non-vegetated land-use map classes. Of the 26 vegetation map classes, 16 represent single NVC plant associations; the other 10 map classes contain multiple plant associations. One map class consists of point data representing seep and spring vegetation. It is contained in a separate coverage from the polygon map classes.
